AB: GlobAEROSOL is an ESA Data User Element project to produce a ten year global aerosol product from a range of European satellite radiometers. The GlobAEROSOL products will include data from the ATSR-2 (on board ERS- 2), SEVIRI (on board the Meteosat Second Generation satellites) and AATSR and MERIS (on board Envisat) instruments in both single-sensor products as well as a single merged product. Data will be available on a 10x10 km grid in an orbit by orbit form, as well as in monthly composites, and will cover 1995 -- 2007 date range. This presentation will give an outline of the instruments and algorithms behind the GlobAEROSOL product, with particular emphasis on the approach taken in merging data from different instruments. Example data products will also be presented as well as validation results.
